Chapter 44 FOURTY FIVE
ROMAN’S POV
Roman stands up abruptly, prompting everyone to stare at him. He blushes in embarrassment, sitting back down before looking at the man who had killed Miss Falcon.
The man Castor Kingsley was looking at him, a strange look in his eyes. They both stared at themselves, Mr Castor smirked, before continuing his speech. He was going to be their physical trainer.
Roman browsed through his mind, trying to remember if he had him as his teacher. He vowed to get close to the man by all means possible, Roman was sure the man had answers he needed.
After the introductions and a little speech from the head of the school, they were dismissed to go back to their dorm.
Immediately Roman got to his dorm room, he checked his schedule, relieved to see he had Castor Kinsley as his teacher. He didn’t even bother showering, instead he stripped off his clothes before laying on his bed in exhaustion.
His mind wandered to that day, he knew no one could turn their mate away, and while he was angry at Stefan and Emily, deep down he didn’t really blame them.
Tomorrow he would go to the school library, he needed to read everything he could about having a double mate, Roman knew Emily’s wolf was different than he had ever seen.
He thought of Emily, her smile when Stefan announced her as his mate, burned a deep hole through his chest. Roman sighed, turning towards his side, he closed his eyes, before slowly drifting off.
Roman jerked away at the shrilling sound coming from the alarm on his side table. He slammed his hands on the alarm, shutting it off, before slumping back down on his bed.
He blinked slowly, rubbing his eyes as the warm ray of sunlight filters through his open window. He didn’t remember falling asleep, but his exhausted bones suggested that the sleep he had gotten wasn’t enough.
Grudgingly, Roman dragged his tired body out of his bed, before walking naked toward his shower. He breathed out, the warm water cascading down his body a welcome relief to his aching muscles.
Quickly, he brushed his teeth before dressing up sharply. He checked his schedule for the day, mr castor class was the last he had for the day. Roman was thankful for that, he needed time to prepare himself before meeting the man he had watched murder Miss Falcon.
He hung his backpack over his shoulder, checking himself out on the mirror close to his door. Satisfied with how he looked, Roman opened his door, locking it behind him, before leaving his dorm building.
He was thankful how labeled everything was, it made it easier for him to locate his class. Roman, stood at the door of his classroom, gathering himself, before walking in. The class was almost filled up, everyone glancing up as he entered.
He glanced around, noticing an empty seat at the back, Roman walked towards it, arranging his stuff before seating down. By his side, a blonde haired boy was sleeping, his head bent over the table so Roman couldn’t tell who it was, not that he really knew anyone.
He brought out his new phone, browsing through it. Some might call him dramatic, in fact, his dad had used that exact word when he had requested for a new phone.
Roman didn’t want anyone reaching him. Everyone knew how he had claimed Emily as his mate, and now it turned out she was Stefan’s mate. Roman was not ready for the fake sympathy, neither was he ready to explain that Emily was his mate also.
He replied to the messages from his mother and sister, while his dad messaged simply contained a few words. He had told him to stay out of trouble, nothing else.
It’s you again, Roman turned his head toward the voice, the blonde boy beside him was awake now, and to Romans luck was also the guy beside him in orientation.
Roman smiled, before switching off his phone. Their teacher walked in, saving Roman from exchanging any more awkward greetings.
She asked Roman and some other new students to introduce themselves to the class, before starting her teaching for the day.
After her class, Roman went to the next. Richie was also in the same class as him. They both compared their schedules, Richie grinned wide, happy that they had all the same classes together and as thus, made it his mission to seat close to Roman in all of them.
Roman sighed out in relief, he was hungry and had been praying that the time ran faster. He gathered his belongings hurriedly, before walking out of the room, Richie shouting at him to wait for him.
Roman ignored him, walking towards the school cafeteria. He was happy that the school had a serve yourselves policy, guards were stationed around the big cafeteria with different foods lined up.
Roman gathered as much as he wanted on his plate, before turning around. The cafeteria was filled up with students, each gathered around with their friends. He scanned the cafeteria, looking for an empty seat.
He found one, dropping his bag and tray of food on it before sitting down. Roman dove right into the food, humming happily. He sighed, before glancing up as another tray was shoved opposite his, groaning loudly, at the sight of Richie.
“Thought you got rid of me, huh," he says, sitting down opposite Roman.
“You talk too much," Roman told him simply, before going back to his food.
There was really no need, from what he had observed about the blonde boy, he wasn’t one to give up, neither did he care about anyone else’s boundaries.
“So, which pack are you from?” Richie asked, food flying out from his mouth.
“Silver Crescent pack, and you?” Roman asked him.
“I am from the blue blood pack” Richie told him, pumping out his chest proudly.
Roman nodded his head thoughtfully, he had heard of Richie pack, but he had never been there.
Briefly, he contemplated asking Richie if he had ever heard anyone who had a double mate but decided against it. Roman didn’t know Richie well, and he didn’t want questions or rumors to start flying around.
After eating, they both walked towards their last class of the day. It was a physical class, with Mr Castor as the teacher. They both entered into the changing room, dropping their bags inside their locker, before changing into their sports wear.
After changing, they walked towards their training class. When they got to the class, they both took their seats, waiting for Mr Castor to come in.
Roman watched as the man strolled in confidently into the class. He was putting on a simple kaki short, with a white polo top. He introduced himself again, before asking the new student to introduce themselves, and their packs.
Roman stood up when it got to his time, staring at Mr Castor intensely as he introduced himself, and the pack he was from.
Mr Castor nodded, an indifferent look on his face. He told everyone about what to expect from his class, before calling on two old students to fight each other.
He smirked, before calling on Roman. Roman breathed out, standing up from his seat. He stood at the arena, glancing around nervously as he waited for his opponent.
His eyes widened in shock as Mr Castor entered the arena, a nasty smirk on his face.
